In northern Morocco under protectorate, before the Second World War, Mohamed grew up without bread, without tenderness and in ignorance. He survives, without a future, in Tangier. At the age of twenty, he discovered writing, reading and knowledge. He will be a teacher and will become one of the greatest Arab writers of the twentieth century. The film is an adaptation of the autobiographical novel "Le Pain nu" by Mohamed Choukri.
